We’re very sad to hear about the passing of Steve Wright. He was always so lovely with Amy. You can tell in this interview how relaxed she was with him. Amy Winehouse interview with Steve Wright (BBC Radio 2, October 2006) - Interviews amywinehouseforum.co.uk/forum/topic/23…
This week we were invited to speak at the symposium on #Drugs and #Alcohol hosted by University of Hertfordshire. So important for those with lived experience to participate in #community wide conversations, to provide insight and understanding of the issues around #addiction and #recovery
